Type "minesweeper" and hit the enter or return key on the keyboard, or click the magnifying glass icon on the far right side of the search bar. When the "Results" page loads, the first thing that will appear is "Microsoft Minesweeper". This is the newest version for Windows.

Wait for the installation to finish. We will see green dots moving across the top of the screen to indicate that the game is installing. The time that it needs to install depends on the speed of the Internet and computer.

Read the confirmation of installation. Where the "Install" button used to be, it says "This app is installed on this PC." There is also a green confirmation box in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Find Microsoft Minesweeper. It is marked "NEW". In our demonstration, it is filed under "Today" because we have sorted the "Apps" page "by date installed", which we can change by clicking the arrow next to those words at the top of the screen. Sorting this menu can make an app easier to find.

This concludes our tutorial on how to download and install Minesweeper on Windows 8 computers. Thank you for watching VisiHow. If you have any other comments or questions, please leave them in the comments section below.
